CHECKS.
Some Of Them Passed at the Different
Loan Oflces in this City.

Some time ago The MINER published q
complete list of a number Of checks which
had been stolen from j. Martin. at Granite,
and which the public was cautioned against
negotiating for. A few days ago j. NJ. Al
biez 4 Co. took in payment for some goods
two checks, one for the amount Of $3.50
and one for $3.50, signed BY the Bi-metal-
lie Company at Granite. Those checks
were negotiated by Henry Behne. While
Behne passed the above on Albies & Co., q
man by the name of Charles Kyle passed
$48.1O.
Yesterday afternoon Behne and Kyle
walked to Goldberg's loan Office, on Main
street. and tried to have another check
cashed for the amount of sos. Young
Goldberg had his suspicion aroused, having
read The MINERS advertisement. He
asked the two men to wait
a few moments, that he did not
have that much currency, but
if they would wait a few seconds he would
get some more money, whom he could fix
them out.
Young Goldberg vent to the First Nation
al bank and showed them the check. As.
sistant Cashier Davis at once recognized
the check as one of the stolen ones. He
gave orders at once to detain the men IN.
til an officer could be found. Constable
Engel was just passing at the time and
being told of the affair told Goldberg to 60
ahead and lie would follow. On arriving at
the loan Office both Behne and Kyle having
become anxious at being kept waiting so
long were standing at the door looking up
the street for Goldberg. The gentleman
said to the two crooks, nov I AN fix you
at the same time walking into the
store, Behne and Kyle following. When
were inside Constable Engle came in
and said. II have warrants for your arrest;
so come along to Judge Lippincott's."
The men hesitated q moment. but when
saw the officer go down after his revol-
yer they came along reluctantly.
Judge Lippincott was soon notified of the
affair, who at once issued warrants for
their arrest upon the charge of robbery.
The two men were soon locked up ia the
Jail. Sheriff Lloyd having suspicion
there were others cor cerned in the
robbery, began Jumping them, when
Behne made a full confession, saying that
one Kennedy, 10Y in the city, was the
party who stole the checks, and they had
only passed the M for him, and further
they would point the man out to the Sher- /
#. It did not take the officers long to find
Kennedy, who was also placed behind the
bars. Mr.. Martin has been telephoned to |

he trio will have a preliminary hearing.

John H. Reagan, OF Texas, will be the
only farmer in the Senate of the United
States after the 4th OF March next. The
last census showed there were 1900, 900
farmers in the country and 81, 900 lawyers,
yet this is a government by lawyers and if
o for lawyers, there has been no legisla-
ton disadvantageously affecting them.

corporations a. emasculated so an to
mean nothing before it received a majority
vote. While there is no good reason WHY
a lawyer should not have as good a claim
on the American people for the honor of
holding their Offices as any other man, it
does not follow they should monopolize
them. More farmers, miners, mechanics
and laboring men in legislative bodies and
lawyers would be more in harmony
with the eternal fitness of things.

A REPUBLICAN HOWL.

President Cleveland's veto of the Depend.
emit Pension bill has, as was expected,
raised q howl from the uniformed and
demagogic Republican newspapers of the
country. He is charged with want OF
patriotism and a disregard for those who
perilled their lives for the Union. This is
pure and unadulterated balderbash. The
fact is this bill wal not urged by meritori-
GUS soldiers, but by interested raiders upon
the treasury. No popular demand was
made for it.
The Government has done all for the
soldier that the high-minded veteran could
ask. 1t paid bounties to three years men,
and in 1856 gave a further gratuity OF 500
upon this score. Under the arrears Of pen-
sion act which Hayes lacked the courage to
veto, hundreds Of millions have been paid
out. Even prior to the passage OF that
bill the country had the largest pension
roll ever recorded in the annals of c~iviliza.
ton, and yet the cry has been for more,
1t il the cry OF the pension agent, not of
the veteran, and the howl which follows the
veto Of the Dependent bill is the howl of
the d%emagogue, not the wall of the soldier,

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, has a
resolution in the United States Senate
proposing an amendment to the constitu.
ton to provide for the election of senators
by the people. The sentiment is growing
among the masses that such an amend
ment should be made. They see no valid
reason why's United States Senator should
not be elected by a d rect vote OF the o
pie, as other congressman are. The idea
chat senator's represent the State, while
OF the lower House represent the
people, is considered too finely drawn for
this eminently practical age. At the last
general election the people of Nebraska
voted for their preference for United States
Senator. Mr.. Van Wyck received a ma
jority OF the votes, but the wish of the peo.
pie was set aside, and Paddock elected.
The Nebraska Senator who was slauph-
tered by the great corporations oil that
State wants a reform worked in the man
ner OF senatorial elections, hence his desire
to call up his resolutions.

OLD CHESTNUTS.

The enumeration OF the stale and explod.
ed charges of election frauds made by the
Inter Mountain last evening is but the
veriest froth. There never was anything in
the charges, but u evening contemporary
has iterated and reiterated them SO often
that it now repeats them with In air of
sincerity, and an apparent feeling of injured
innocence. The old chestnut about an
election fraud being committed within fifty
feet Of TEE MINER Office in 1884 was buried
out Of sight long & in the District Courtat
Deer Lodge. The story is old and musty and
carries with it it's own refutation. It has
answered it's purpose as a campaign argu-
ment and now deserves the rest it has
richly earned. The same may be said of
the other Munchauson stories the Inter
Mountain repeated. Our amiable and pre-
Stunning contemporary should no longer pre-
sumo upon the credulity OF an intelligent
people. Give them something better than
old and exploded election campaign
canards.

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR BALL.
Renshaw Hall Filled Last Evening
With the Elite Of This City.

Last, evening Montans Commandery,
No. 8, held their annual ball at Renshaw
Hall. Early in the evening the members,
who we're in full uniform, accompanied by
their wives began to arrive.
The Committee of Arrangements, consist
ing OF Messrs. w. E. Hall, Patrick Talent,
E. D. Aiken and John D. Thomas, had left
nothing undons to make the ball a recher-
che affair. The Reception Committee. con-
sisting of Messrs. II. C. Kessler, HIS. Clark.
j. K.::Clark, F. E. Sergeant, Joseph Annear.
w. R. Kenyon, received the guests in royal
style. The Floor Committee, consisting OF
Z. H. Golden, A. J. Dusseau, William Dyer,
j. M. Spencer, J. c. Singer, looked after the
welfare of these who wished to participate
in the dreamy waltz. 1t was a glorious
sight to see SO many bright uniforms and
plumed helmets on the floor at one time.
Prof. Burt's celebrated orchestra furnished
the music. The guests all enjoyed them
selves, and dancing was kept up until a late
hour.

THE REASON WHY.

Under the shove caption the New Yorl
Star throws . new light upon the Canadian
fishery imbroslio in the following article un
| der date Of the 9th inst: ''Sir Charles Tup.
Der, the Canadian Minister of Finance, de
clares that:
While on q secret mission to Washington
during President Arthur's administration,
Secretary Frslinghuysen pledged himself to
take up the question OF reciprocity with
Canada il the Republicans were sustained
at the next Presidential election.
We have reason to think that that decla-
ration is absolutely correct. But the Re
publicans were no sustained. What hap
pened? Canada began to vsx, harass and
maltreat our fishermen. President Cleveland
proposed to Congress negotiation in order
to concert the nature Of the restrictions to
prevent unla wful fishing on Canadian coasts.

cure commercial privileges in Canadian
ports for our vessels. The Senate, under
the lash Of Edmunds, Hoar and Frye. re-
fused it's consent, the Republicans not hav-
ing been sustained in 1884. Canada natur-
ally continued it's brutality. Finally, to
get out of the complications Of diplomacy
and of the Senate resentment against a
Democratic administration, Mr.. Belmont
and Mr.. Manning took q hand in the bust
ness. Then tho Senate got alarmed, and
passed . bill only calculated to nag Canada
and make matters worse. Mr.. Belmont
and MI. Manning then tried again; but now,
when tho Republican Senate is confronted
with Mr.. Manning's measure, Edmunds,
Hoar, Frye & Co. "take to the woods"
crying as they run that Mr.. Manning in
tends reciprocity with Canada. It is plain

sentences that such 10 Mr.. Man

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

There are few journals in the country
that have a true conception Of the cause Of
the clamor made by some parties for i'm
menss appropriations for coast and har
Dor defenses and for the navy. Among
them is the New York Star, which, after de.

Senate appropriating $21, OOO. 900 to for.

rary the Sun. But the Sun just now is
more anxious to destroy the Democratic
party and to defeat it's policies than it is
to defend the city. Those organs of public
opinion which represent the Democracy of
New York are in favor Of fortifying the
coasts and Of building up the navy, but
they all agree that the most important and
valuable thing that Congress can do is to
reduce the taxes.

In this connection We would add that
the Senate bills making these a~ppropria-
tions of $21 .O00, 900 will not be likely to
receive the support OF some OF the leading
protectionists. They are in the hands OF
the House committee on appropriations.
As this committee contains the names OF
such men as Randall, Holman and Towns

lavish appropriations for any purpose they |
will be apt to see to it that these bills are
not heard OF again at this session.

C OPTION.

A substitute for q bill introduced in the
Dakota Legislature for prohibiting tho sale
ut Intoxicating liquors, which was recently
reported in that body provides for submit
ting tho question in any county when 300
or more qualified voters petition fer it's
submission. II the majority vote is against
the sale OF liquors, then no liquor license
shall be granted in said county, either by
the county or any Incorporated city, town
or village. Penalties are prescribed for at
tempting to grant license contrary to the
bill, and also for selling, barterins or giving
away liquor where its eale is prohibited, ex-
cept, that licensed druggists may sell wines

A Snow Fence.

Superintendent r. Blickenederfer, OF the
Idaho division, is at present constructing,
with a force of 200 men, a snow fence, which,
when completed, will be a mile long. Those
who have seen the new fence say that it lie
erected on top of the snow, some twenty
feet from the ground. It is said that the
great trouble in the cuts on the Utah 4
Northern is that when the snow blockade
first came that too small a cut was made
to just leave the snow pillow pass
through, and now whenever a snow comes
the snow pillow has no chance to throw the
snow to one side as the sides are thoroughly
packed. No doubt there will be trouble in
Beaver Canyon until spring.
